I am up early in the morning so I try to get some training in before I go to work. The point of this training is to bring up my work capacity as well as some hypertrophy. 4 to 6 weeks out from the meet I will drop it as I like to show up to a meet very rested, I am stronger when I taper down the volume the last month. I train more frequently and I think go heavier more often than many lifters so I try to make up for this with a long deload into a meet.
BW is up a little bit because ive been eating more. Sitting around 213lbs right now. Have about 12-14lbs room to grow into the meet with still making a comfortable weight cut. I can put on weight very quickly so I am not to worried about gaining this, just trying to do it slowly around a lb/week.
This is my training template for now. AM training is just done before I get to work. PM training and squat day is done at my gym.
